4.4. Personally, do you recommend other college students to work and

4.5. Reasons of Recommendation to work while studying 
As an open-ended question, UC students had provided various answers to 
this question. After being grouped into different themes, we can see that the 
most popular reasons that they recommend fellow UC students to work and

study at the same time were Experience, and Prepare themselves to be ready
which accounted for 28% and 20% respectively (see Figure 10).

V. Discussion 
The purpose of this research study was to explore the reasons, benefits, and 
difficulties that UC students have faced during their academic journey. 
Throughout the analysis, we can see that most of the students in UC work 
full time (70%). The male respondents have more jobs related to their majors 
than females. 
The ultimate reason was to be financially independent which is similar to the 
findings that have been done in the Western countries: students earn money 
to support and keep themselves in school (Robinson, 1999). The benefit that 
had been gained the most from work while studying was Experience in real 
working environments (35.6%) which is similar to the previous research 
that: “Degree-related work and unpaid work experience increase the 
likelihood of getting a graduate job” (Jewell, 2014). 
Additionally, our research findings illustrate that students encountered 
exhaustion and stress as the biggest obstacles, which are similar to other 
researchers’ findings as well: Deadlines, limited finances, family issues
time, and other additional responsibilities also stress college students out 
(Martinez, Ordu, Sala, & McFarlance, 2013).
